1 Make an n length fixed array to hold the results. 2  Populate the array with the first n elements of the input. 3  Transform the array into a minheap. 4  Loop over remaining inputs, replacing the top element of the heap if new data element is larger.  If needed, sort the final n elements.
The term mutt refers to a mixed-breed dog. It derives from the word muttonhead, suggesting stupidity. The term may be used in a derogatory fashion, or in an affectionate way. A mixed-breed dog might also be called a mongrel, and it is typically the result of random breeding rather than being specifically created from purebred dogs. A mutt is usually the result of generations of mixed-breed dogs or the unplanned breeding between purebreds. Some people believe that breed is very important, and there find it important to identify the ancestors of a dog that's mixed-breed.
Every individual possesses two MHC haplotypes, one inherited from each parent. The MHC enables the immune system to respond appropriately to the intrusion of infectious agents, like viruses or bacteria. It is not unique to dogs, but exists in all species of mammals.ithout diversity within the MHC, the dog will catch a disease. If the disease is bad enough, the dog may die. If there were only a few possible MHC haplotypes in a breed or species, the risk of an entire population being wiped out by a virulent plague would be very high. The cheetah provides an example from nature.
